kaizen-research

kaizen-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Boise-State-Development/agentcore-public-stack. It costs 0 tokens per session (7,102 once invoked), scanned B, original, no licence file.

A weekly research process that scans public and internal sources for new agent tools, trends, features, and user-interface improvements in the AgentCore Public Stack repository. AWS Bedrock, Strands Agents, and FastMCP are technologies related to building AI agents and their tool connections.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding emerging tools and updates, reviewing changes in the AgentCore stack, and recording possible improvements.
Why use it?
It helps the team keep track of relevant changes instead of manually searching several projects and announcements each week.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

kaizen-research scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

The source is not reproduced here

A licence we could not identify

The repository carries a LICENSE file, but it is custom or dual enough that GitHub cannot name it and neither can this catalogue. Unknown terms are not permission, so the body is not copied here. Read the licence at the source and decide for yourself.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
